The
OrganiCity project is a proactive
manifestation of the converging fields of urbanism
and ecology. At a time when humanity
is shifting from a predominately rural mode of living to an urban
one, a new consciousness is emerging
which recognizes that humans are not separated from nature, but
rather our creativity and invention
are also products of the Earth. In
many ways however, this technosphere we have created is not symbiotically
integrated within the ecosystems our settlements inhabit. It is
for this reason that social and environmental pollution are diminishing
the quality of life for all creatures.

This website is an exploration into
the various ways in which the urban lifestyle can become more sustainable,
relying on its internal energy flows,
rather than external dependencies. Not only is our intention
to document various acts of urban social
and environmental sustainability,
but this website is meant as a resource to empower
our urban communities into action
and invention.
